Fresh mint would also work great as a finishing touch or toasted almonds seasoned with your choice of spice instead of the Sillery blend.
The yogurt would also be good with Za’atar or just fresh pepper and salt with a drizzle of olive oil stirred through.
To season the carrots, you could try the Ararat spice blend with black pepper yogurt drizzled on top with fresh mint.
Sweet potatoes and asparagus will also be great in place of carrots.
The carrots can also be easily roasted in the oven at 400F and finished the same way.
